An ongoing mystery, unfolding each week!

Join us this summer for "Unearthed", an exciting weekly mystery adventure at the library!

As part of our Unearth a Story™ Summer Reading Program, children are invited to take part in a unique, ongoing mystery that unfolds week by week! Every Tuesday throughout the summer (through July 21st), kids can visit the library to pick up the next chapter of an original story following Mariah and Leo, who discover a buried time capsule and a trail of clues hidden in film canisters. As they follow the mystery across familiar places, they’ll uncover secrets from the past—and maybe even a love story. Some chapters may even include a fun surprise like a sticker! Missed a week? No problem—past chapters will be available, but you’ll have to wait for each new release to continue the reading adventure.
